WordShip

Wordle meets Battleship. You don't just guess words — you hide them.

WordShip is a real-time multiplayer word puzzle where two players become both puzzle-creator AND puzzle-solver. Place words on your grid for your opponent to hunt. Hunt for theirs. First to find all words wins.

How It Works

1. Place Your Words

You get 5 words to hide on a 10×10 grid. Choose obscure vocabulary. Position them cleverly. Overlap letters strategically. Your opponent will be hunting these — make it hard.

2. Hunt Their Words

Take turns guessing coordinates and letters. Each guess reveals clues:

Result	Meaning
Gray	Miss — nothing here
Yellow	Hit! A letter exists here, but which word?
Green	Confirmed letter in a specific word
Blue	Word discovered!

3. Win

First player to uncover all 5 opponent words wins. Games take 5-10 minutes.
